Hi all, Are the Empennages for the -6, -7 & -8 totally identical and are therefore interchangeable from one model to the other??? Just wondering..., so anyone know for sure?

Just >wondering..., so anyone know for sure? > >Thank you, Konrad The -7 and -8 have the same Empennage, but the -6 has a different one. The -4 and -6 Empennages are much smaller than on the -7 and -8. To my eye, the 4/6 fin-rudder is a little too small, and the 7/8 fin-rudder is a little too big. That being said, with the IO-390 on the -8, I'm often wishing I had more rudder authority during landing. So, it may be visually too big on the 7/8 already, but it could be bigger! :-) - Matt Dralle RV-8 #82880 N998RV http://www.mattsrv8.com - Matt's RV-8 Construction Log http://www.youtube.com/MattsRV8 - Matt's RV-8 HDTV YouTube Channel Status: 150+ Hours TTSN - Paint Job Is All That's Left To Do... ________________________________ Message 7 _____________________________________ Time: 05:08:56 PM PST US Subject: Re: RV8-List: Re: -6,-7,-8 Empennages interchangeable? From: Alan Searle The -7 & -8 stabilisers are different. The -7 fuselage is wider at the leading edge position requiring different skins. Cheers ........ Alan.

Hi all, Aren't the various fuselage width's at the horizontal stabilizer area-, as well as the attach points themselves for the horizontal stab different between the -6, -7, -8? There is someone marketing a finished empennage on Barnstormers, saying "...it can be used on either the 6, 7, 8... and it made no sense to me / I was not sure on that! Here is what he said to me in an email: "The empennage can be used on any of Van's aircraft models of 6, 7, or 8 : or 6a,7a or 8a. Charlie" Is he correct in that statement? On the other hand, I do have a "spare" built / late version -6 Empennage (with tall, counterbalanced rudder), so I wondered if it would work for the -7 or -8 guys as well??? Anyone need one, either with or without a nearly virgin Wing kit of the pre-drilled kind, maybe even match drilled? The spars are assembled already!
